Welcome to another installment of Ask a Pro! Today we are talking to Carolina Buia, Dream Team member and Lifestyle pro! Let’s see what she has to say about creating a multi-purpose room!
Q: Help! I have a spare room in my house that doesn’t get much use. What’s the best way to design a room with a workspace so that it can be multi-purpose for work, hobbies, or crafts?
-Joan P.
A: An office or den can easily double up as a craft or hobby room. Get rid of your traditional desk and bring in a long, bench like table. This will create enough space for both your computer and work space, plus allow for a whole different side for hobbies. Consider using a slender floor lamp as opposed to table lamps, so you get more out of your desk space. Another way to save desk space is by placing a peg board above your desk for supplies. The peg board also creates a visually interesting way to organize supplies and stay clutter free. It’s important to have plenty of free space on your desk to really take advantage of its multi-purpose use.
